DSL vs Cable ... my only experience with DSL is through TELUS, and they demonstrated themselves to be completely rude morons.

Whereas Shaw Cable just seems friendlier - out here, Shaw is the Google of Internet Access.

I've been TELUS free for about two years, and it's been a joy. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 08:34 1
- I've been TELUS-free since we bought our condo - Shaw Digital Phone is awesome. However, I only became TELUS Mobility-free last month. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:34
I never had telus, but that's what my brother said about them too. I had DSL once for about 6 months, way slower than cable in the same house. - mafic Jun 11, 08:29
I plugged in my Verizon DSL in about ten minutes, worked perfectly, never had to call them once, no outages ever. Speed higher than advertised too. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 08:29 3
- The modem wouldn't link with their server reliably, their DHCP configuration was completely worthless, and they blamed it on US. - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:33 2
  - I can't begin to tell you the trouble I had with that cable company. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 08:34
  - (To put their customer service quality at the time in perspective, two weeks later someone was arrested for shooting at the TELUS building.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:34
